Friday's ride

Ignore the amount of default icons there are now, I just revamped my icons so I could put some I've been wanting to use in. yay me.

So Friday's ride was nothing overly spectacular, but I'll write about it anyway, cause thats what I have to do. I warmed up w/t/c and then took off the stirrups. I apparently hate myself. I did 3 sets of the trot thing each direction, then cantered around a few times both directions, then I did another set of trot things each direction, which took me to about 15 minutes. I got back on, actually lengthened my stirrups a hole. Did some more trot work and he was very rushy, got probably a bit too hard with him in the mouth. Did some more canter work, and he again did some funky stuff. I honestly think its a training problem, as I'm trying to get him off his forehand, and either hes on his forhand or hes doing that. And, when I sat in the saddle, ignored what he was doing, and simply used spongey fingers, he stopped and actually softened and tried to come round for a few strides. So yeah. That was nice though, if I ignore his antics, he settles down. I'm pretty sure I should have known that already. But I'm stupid, so there.

So today I'm going to hall saddlery (YAY!) and then I'm gonna lunge Hattan, give my legs a day off. Hah.
